Paradise Palms Congratulations Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #611

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a vertical layout with matted layers and an oval frame with embellishments and sentiment.  I created this Congratulations card for a male friend of mine who recently retired.  The palm trees and sand came from a retired Stampin Up set called "Paradise Palms" and the oval was cut from an older Recollections 6 x 6 called "Color Splash."  The background mat is Peacock CS and a gold Cricut pen was used for the inner frame. The gold embossed sentiment is from Close to my Heart "Many Congratulations".

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, January 12 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love. Please stop by our blog on Wednesday to see what the rest of the talented Design Team has to inspire you.
